Why Ken Urker’s family is ‘disgusted’ with Gypsy Rose Blanchard after his unexpected death

Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s former partner Ken Urker’s family is “disgusted” with her in the wake of his unexpected death.

Ken’s sister, Autumn Urker, spoke to the Daily Mail in an interview published Saturday, and she revealed how his family feels about Blanchard following his death.

“We are disgusted with her statements!” Autumn, 31, told the outlet. “She hasn’t even called my mother or any of us yet.”

She described her brother as a “great man” who “didn’t care if you were broken,” adding that “he would still love you” and “still fight for you.”

“He tried so hard for Gypsy because he was that [kind of] person,” she added.

“My brother was a good father, a good brother, a good son and a good friend,” she continued. “And we were all lucky and blessed to have known him.”

In a separate interview with the US Sun published Friday, Autumn accused Blanchard, 35, of lying about the circumstances surrounding Ken’s death, specifically disputing claims that he was found only after he failed to respond to a text from her wishing him a happy birthday.

“Gypsy had no right to lie and say that it was because of some text that she sent to him,” she told the outlet.

Autumn also claimed Blanchard had been telling people that she and Ken were “engaged and planning baby number two,” which she said was not true.

Blanchard and Ken shared a daughter, 1-year-old Aurora Raina, whom they welcomed in December 2024.

Autumn said the pair “were not together” and had split “over a month ago,” adding that Ken was the one who ended the relationship.

“When he was like, ‘I’m done,’ she’d do a thing, and so it was a fight whenever they split,” she added.

Ken was found dead in his bed at his Raceland, Louisiana, home Thursday, which was his 34th birthday.

Page Six reported that authorities found drugs, drug paraphernalia and a handgun at the scene.

According to a 911 dispatch log, Blanchard’s sister-in-law, Anita Blanchard, told the dispatcher that Ken had threatened suicide shortly before his death.

In the immediate aftermath of Ken’s death, Blanchard told People she suspected he died of an overdose.

“I don’t know if it was intentional or not,” she told the outlet. “He was not in a good state of mind lately.”

She honored Ken in a lengthy statement shared on her Instagram Stories alongside never-before-seen photos of Ken with their daughter.

“Ken was an amazing father and a man who was deeply loved,” the statement read in part. “He will forever be my soulmate and my red string, a connection that time, distance and even death can never erase.”
